Swaybar Endlink Re-enforcement bracket from 41.22

[gabrielVA]

I purchased a Swaybar Endlink Re-enforcement bracket from 41.22 but the bolt doesn't seem to line up to get it through, has anyone ever dealt w this before? Seems like Jeep was sloppy on mounting the bracket or something.

Could also be your bracket is tweaked already. Have you tried loosening the reinforcement and using a punch to hold it in place while you re-tighten it?

Metalcloak also makes one that bolted right up for me.

Oh I haven't thought of that, maybe I'll try using a punch to help align it, seems that it's off a few mm.

I think this is the one I have at home, it's very handy.

Yeah thinking I should have bought the metaclock one too, I'll get a punch like that and see if I can use it to help adjust it in place. I reached out to them and they said that jeep did sloppy on the backers in the first place.

I mean honestly what company wouldn’t blame issues on another company for fitment issues? ?

I was actually curious on how well these things were going to do vs the MC ones. That same company makes an awesome hitch skid slider so I wanted to see if the rest of their stuff was legit. I think the red paint would bug me the most lol

I bought their hitch slider/recovery point and it's top-quality from what I can tell. Saved my butt (literally) on the last Moab trip.

Huh, doesn’t fit the Mojave model?? They all looked the same to me and I put a Metal Cloak on mine, don’t see anything that would not let it fit. It looks like what I was thinking about making out of 1/4”steel until I saw the Metal cloak version which is totally different but might give a bit more front to rear strength. I believe either one or any of the others all will work, but I do feel better having one….Jack

So I had to wind up making the hole on the kit a little larger and sorta wedged it in place, a tight fit, but it does work. The parts seem to be great quality, but I wish they had a video or instructions or something.

They must’ve done a real crappy job punching that one out of the machine. I have the metal cloak ones and they are way nicer for not too much more money.

I would return those and buy the cloak ones.

I have the 41.22 hitch slider and it’s great. But those brackets look like a real miss.

 

[gabrielVA]

Yeah, I think that I will return them and get metal cloak, I'll keep these on for a few days and check them, but Im leaning towards just buying the other one.

Yikes!

These seem way more stout and offer proper triangulation.
